Hi
Just wanted to draw your attention to a new drug which is better tolerated than opiate based ones~
First in class pain killer, Palexia® SR launched in the UK for the treatment of severe chronic pain
16 May 2011
Today sees the launch of Palexia® SR (tapentadol prolonged release) for the oral treatment of adults with severe chronic pain, which can only be adequately managed with opioid analgesics. Palexia® SR is the first in a new class of centrally acting analgesics called MOR-NRI, which has two mechanisms of action in one molecule; both µ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonism and noradrenaline reuptake inhibition (NRI).
